I thank my President, @HEBobiwine, and my party, @NUP_Ug, for entrusting me with the responsibility to serve on the Local Government Accounts Committee. I look forward to playing my part in strengthening accountability and keeping the regime in check.
BREAKING NEWS!!
Hon Paul Mwiru has officially been endorsed by National Unity Platform (@NUP_Ug) as the party’s flag bearer for the Speakership race in the 12th Parliament.
This morning, our top leadership interfaced with the 12th parliamentary caucus and had constructive engagements concerning our alternative vision.
As the NUP, we believe that the parliament needs to regain its autonomy, which is not the case at the moment. There is no way a serving army officer should engage in partisan politics and endorse individuals to occupy parliamentary leadership. This alone depicts that we shall not have an independent parliament.
In a quest to try to restore the image and functionality of parliament as envisaged in the constitution, we have fielded the Jinja South East MP Hon. Paul Mwiru as our official candidate for speakership of the 12th parliament. We shall engage like minded political parties to nominate the Deputy Speaker so that we have a joint-opposition voice in our struggle to rescue parliament from the prevailing captivity guised as a fight against corruption.
